Cross Ange x The New Order: Summoning Freedom and Prosperity

Francois's betrayal, troubles and Jill reveals herself

Parisii Imperial Palace

Francois who was using his Mana hologram body, started coming towards the Emperor Loewenherz in his break room, and he saw another Galian General who was asleep, but when Francois was about to enter, the general woke up and started to approach Francois

Galian General 8#: His Majesty, when you talk to him? He will certainly answer the question of wether we should stay or escort his family and flee to Benoit? You're going to persuade him to leave, right? Brigadier General Francois? He listen to you.

But Francois was silent and did not answer any questions from this general

Galian General 8#: Convince His Majesty, Francois! If he does not leave Parisii, it's over! The OFN will break our necks.

Without saying anything, Francois went into the Emperor's break room

Emperor Loewenherz: Oh... Francois. You came

Brigadier General Francois: Your Majesty, I--

Emperor Loewenherz: It's okay. Let's sit down

Then they both sat down on their chairs and the Emperor Loewenherz appeared like have many things in his minds that made him worry

Emperor Loewenherz: I had great plans for our war with OFN. Nobody understood me, Not even my old brothers in arms. The opportunity we had. The whole plan was ours for the taking... too late. I can openly fighting the Normas... and send them to Arzenal to fighting some DRAGON.

The situation at that time was quiet, because all the troops prepared defenses to block the OFN troops who were going to enter Parisii

Emperor Loewenherz: I don't find it... hard to continue. One brief moment... *sighing* and then eternal peace

Brigadier General Francois: But please spare the Norma for this time, Your Majesty.

Emperor Loewenherz: If the Norma get spared, they gonna ravage our social system... I won't let that happen. They get what they deserve. They are not considered as "Human" because they not accept Mana as part of them.

Then, Francois spoke with a heavy heart because he had something to say

Brigadier General Francois: For years... for months... I have to tell you this... for years and for months I have disobey your orders to treating Norma badly. I not only ignores your orders, but even acted against them. I had to tell you.

Then with a sad face knowing that the enemy would be approaching the Capital, he didn't show a surprised face or anything

Brigadier General Francois: This never compromised my personal loyalty to you. I always swore my loyalty to late Princess Alektra

Then Brigadier General Francois rose from his seat and prepared to leave for good

Emperor Loewenherz: So you're leaving, as a traitor. Good. Goodbye

Brigadier General Francois: I wish you all the best and take your own responsibility. I'm out from here

And Francois's Mana hologram body disappeared, and this convinced Emperor Loewenherz that Brigadier General Francois chose to side with Norma and OFN

Back to Périrault

The battle ended with the surrender of the Gallic troops guarding the Governor's Office building and allowing the combined US and Free French of OFN forces to control the half of the Périrault city

Cuq: Stormed now!

Free French troops stormed the inside of the Governor's Office building, then they broke down the door of the building and pushed their way inside
